Parents visiting the Bronx Zoo have been left horrified after gorillas engaged in oral sex in full view of visitors and their children.
The display occurred in the Congo Gorilla Forest and involved two gorillas who certainly didn'tdidn't seem to feel any shame.
Some parents covered their children'schildren's eyes and moved on quickly while others gathered around and even began filming the NSFW content. Calls of ''oh no'' and ''oh my God'' can be heard reverberating inside the zoo as the full realisation of what was happening occurred.
The individual who took the video told the New York Post:
"I was shocked and had no idea that was a ''natural'' act. I was in the gorilla exhibit with my 4-year-old daughter and niece. My wife had to stay out of the exhibit with my sleeping son, so I wanted to capture a lot of video. Then this magic happened."
The Bronx Zoo has made no comment on the incident, but this is not the first time such a thing has happened. Several gorillas were allegedly seen engaging in similar activity last year, though no footage at that time was taken.
Oral sex between gorillas is not very common but it is known to happen. It has also been seen occurring between female gorillas in Rwanda during a research operation in the Virunga mountain range. Researchers believe that the female coupling may have happened after they were rejected by male mates.
It seems highly unlikely that the Bronx Zoo will be able to do anything to stop anything similar happening in the future, they can't after all, tell the gorillas to stop, and the gorillas don't seem to care who is watching them. It seems that these are just the potential events that any visitor will have to accept before seeing these wild animals in person.
